File under: Mahdi Army

#1 Certain parties in Iraq are deliberately causing tension in the country in order to justify the continued presence of occupiers, the official said. He also criticized Iraq's security authorities for failing to prevent the assassination, saying the Iraqi government and religious authorities must find a solution to resolve the current crisis.

Maybe not, Mookie. Maybe they don't want the current "crisis" to be resolved until the Al-Sadr name is mud, that all that remains of the "Mehdi Army" are a half-dozen teens in ragged cast-offs with two AK-47s and and a disfunctional RPG-7. Maybe Iraq's security authorities realize that the one key ingredient keeping Iran from waging a more open war against Iraq is the presence of a REAL army they'd have to fight. Most of them know they'd get their a$$es handed to them in a leaky paper sack if that happened. Be careful, Mookie, of what tea you drink, and with whom.
